ABOUT OUR COLLECTIONS

Dear visitors, 

After the success of "A History of Fashion", our second collections tour will open to the public in June 2023.

This next collections tour will be an opportunity for you to discover a new history of fashion, from the 18th century to the present day, through our exceptional collections presented in a new theme dedicated to the body in motion.

The link between fashion and sport will be the subject of the second display of this new collections tour, echoing the Olympic Games that will be held in Paris in 2024.

Shoe hat, Elsa Schiaparelli in collaboration with Salvador Dalí

  • Elsa Schiaparelli in collaboration with Salvador Dalí

  • Winter 1937 - 1938
  • Black felt
  • GAL2013.5.1
  • Acquired by the City of Paris
  • Palais Galliera, musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris

The high-heeled Schiaparelli shoe hat was created in 1937 in collaboration with Salvador Dalí. The idea came from a photograph taken in 1933 by Dali's wife Gala, showing the artist wearing a woman's shoe on his head and another one on his shoulder. The hat was captured for posterity in a photography by Georges Saad, published in the October 1937 number of L’Officiel de la Mode et de la Couture, and Gala herself can be seen wearing it in a photo taken by André Maillet in 1938.

This hat, which belonged to Gala, entered the museum collection in 2013. On her return to France from the United States in 1947, Gala gave it to her daughter Cécile Eluard. Two other examples of this emblematic accessory are known: one with a red heel in the Andrea Pfister Collection, the other with a black heel in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The original sketch is in the Union Française des Arts du Costume at the Musée de la Mode et du Textile in Paris.
